Anti-regime demonstrators in Ardabil, northwest Iran, have torn down a newly unveiled statue of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, only days after it was installed, a fresh sign of escalating public defiance against the regime.
*Iranian Protests Boil Over as Crowds Torch Police Cars and Defy the Regime*
Fresh footage circulating online shows Iranian protesters torching police vehicles during clashes, including scenes reported from Azna in Lorestan as crowds swarm burning patrol cars and chant against the regime.
The unrest is no longer confined to Tehran. Reports describe confrontations spreading across multiple cities, with security forces using tear gas and, in some locations, live fire as the regime tries to reassert control.
At least two deaths have been reported amid the violence, as Iran’s economic freefall and public fury collide with the Islamic Republic’s repressive machinery, especially the Basij and other forces long used to crush dissent.
Iran Regime Floods Cities With Missile-Strike Billboards After Rising Lion, Trying to Quiet Public Anger Over War Failures
Regime forces across Iran are rolling out fresh billboards showing targets hit by Iranian missiles during Operation Rising Lion, topped with the threat: “It Will Happen Again.” The images reportedly include Israel’s Nevatim airbase and the Haifa refinery/power infrastructure, alongside the U.S. Al-Udeid base in Qatar, framing the campaign as both revenge and warning.
Israeli analysts assess the messaging is aimed less at Israel and more at Iranians: a loud attempt to steady the regime’s shaken image after the war, as protests and public fury keep boiling over. After Rising Lion saw Israel strike Iran’s nuclear/military network and expose deep vulnerabilities, Tehran is trying to reclaim “deterrence” with posters, because performance on the battlefield didn’t calm the streets.
